Simply grateful

Standard
Monday 24th November 

Simply grateful
For the earth's grace
Such beauty
In this pleasant place

These simple joys 
A precious art
That softly warm
And gently fill the heart

Grateful for
The small things found
On life's sweet
And grassy ground

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Mum

Standard
Sunday 23rd November 

Three years have passed
Since you were near
Remembering Mum
The one we hold dear
Missed so much
Your smile and laugh
The echo of memories
From a photograph

5.8.1932 - 23.11.2022

Off to Dorset

Standard
Saturday 22nd November  

The sky hangs low
A heavy grey scar
Washing the tarmac
Beneath the car

Each drop that hits
The windscreen pane
Sings a dreary
Relentless refrain

The fields are blurred 
A muted green
A less than cheerful
Travelling scene

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Being quite brave

Standard
Thursday 20th November 

Being quite brave 
Not hiding from fights
Taking some risks
Reaching new heights

Proud of the battles
That have been faced
Feeling fine inside 
No moment chased

So standing tall
Letting confidence ignite
Walking in strength
Towards inner light

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Strength

Standard
Wednesday 19th November 

The strength to face
Whatever life may bring
And hope that lets
A heart forever sing

For stars that twinkle
In the darkest night
Those guiding beacons
Shining ever bright

For simple comfort
Easily obtained
A grateful heart
Forever unrestrained

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Comfort

Standard
Tuesday 18th November 

Comfort
As soft as a blanket
Wrapped around 
Like a warm embrace

A shelter
From the wildest tempest
In quiet corners 
Finding a calm place

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Leaves have fallen

Standard
Monday 17th November 

Leaves have fallen
Branches stripped bare
Yet the tree stands tall
Roots strong with care

Through storms and seasons
It's held its ground
A testament of life
Resilience profound

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Ideas scatter

Standard
Sunday 16th November 

Ideas scatter
Like leaves in a breeze
Some dance in chaos
Some go where they please
Yet in this whirlwind 
The truth is found
Beneath the clatter
The heart is unbound

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Life was ordinary

Standard
Saturday 15th November 

Life was ordinary 
A gentle flow
Sunlit days 
A peaceful glow

Waking hours 
A happy place
Familiar smiles
On every face

Until it wasn't
The quiet broke
A sudden storm 
A heavy cloak

Grey skies dawned
Where blue had been
A world transformed 
A different scene

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
